The word "prisco" is an Italian adjective meaning "ancient" or "old-fashioned." It is spelled as /ˈprisko/ in IPA, with the stress on the first syllable. The "p" and "r" sounds are pronounced separately, with the "p" being aspirated in Italian, unlike in English. The "i" is pronounced as a short "ee" sound, and the "s" and "c" together create a "sh" sound. The final "o" is pronounced with a rounded lips shape, similar to the "o" in "go."
